Other than demanding a bribe, the cop did nothing wrong.
They should have had their bio page and entry stamp copied.
Lesson learned.

Today I and my wingman got stopped by police on a walk from SL to Del Rey. The thing is that we got stopped by the motorcycle police in the fricking park. We showed them a copy of our passports but they demended to see the entry stamp which we did not have a copy of. They were demending that we pay $100 or they will take us to the immmigration. I was refusing to pay but my wingman fricked out and offered $40 which at first they did not want to take, but took after I said that otherwise we are going to the immigration. The moral of the story, carry your real passport or have a copy of both the main page of you passport and an entry stamp. We are stying at Sportsmens and have reported the incident. |

That's why it pays to do some reading of the board. It has been posted many times, including recently, that you must have a copy of your entry stamp as well as the info page of your passport. It is also recommended that you have either your original boarding pass or a photo copy that proves the entry stamp is indeed from your passport. |

Yeah......Once again, the motorcycle cops in the park. Before walking through a park......always look for the motorcycle cops. If you see them....avoid them; walk around the park. Always carry a photocopy of your passport along with the date stamp page. |

I carry the real thing... passport that is. Could I get mugged and my passport ripped off? Sure. Is it likely? No. It is, though, a risk I am willing to take. I walk the parque all the time. I look forward to a cop asking me for my passport. They're not going to get squat in the way of $$$ from me. To avoid the park... to me... is silly. A cop can stop you anywhere. If that's a fear... being stopped by a cop... check into the HDR and never leave.

It has been widely reported that the cops stop all "dicks" they happen to see! Pun intended... as this is a joke "Mr. Penis"!
